He's in a tough spot.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2768 ... redictionsBleacher Report Mock Draft has him in the first round (Shake #26) so does Sam Vecenie and the Athletic (Shake at 26 and Jarrey at 43).
https://theathletic.com/290869/2018/03/ ... in-sexton/Shake will be somewhere in the 22-40 range of the draft. He made a good decision. Once he goes to the combine and works out for teams more Mock drafts will remember him, but Scouts know who he is which is all that matters. Shake will do very well in individual workouts for teams due to his shooting ability, ball handling, and being a smart/good kid.
His stock wasn't going to improve by coming back. His ceiling is the same and his limitations aren't going to be improved much with another year in college (same with Shamet). He has enough film where scouts can see everything they want. Also, his injury isn't like an ACL so as long as there are no lingering issues no one will care that he missed last 11 or so games. Mock drafts just forget about guys when they aren't dropping 20 and think current who has been playing well and raising there stock. Shake will be back to where he was in all Mock drafts earlier in the year in the next month, just wait and see.
This draft is nowhere near as deep as last season. After the top 15 prospects in this years draft its a total crapshoot. Shake, Evans, Frazier, Shamet, etc. all could go anywhere from 20-40 and different Mock drafts have them going different places. Its going to be all about fit.
